Social Life in Nauru

Behavior

The people of Nauru are very humble and modest as they rarely
express themselves in a way to offend another. This comes in respecting other people,
dressing modestly, avoiding outward signs of wealth or affection, and having a reverence
for a higher being as most people are Christian or Hindu.

As a visitor to Nauru, that same modesty is expected; modesty
in dress, actions, words, and every aspect of your life. Many of the most important
behavioral restrictions to be aware of are related to dress, dating (see below for
both), and dining (see our Nauru Food & Dining
Page for more information). Also try to avoid being loud, rude, showing
off wealth, or getting drunk in public.

Most of the people in Nauru dress in a conservative, but casual
manner as women tend to wear loose-fitting dresses and men prefer t-shirts and shorts.
As a visitor to Nauru, try to dress in like fashion. Women are expected to dress
a bit more conservatively as shoulders and knees should be covered. Swimwear should
only be worn on private beaches and in private resorts as they are not considered
appropriate anywhere else. If visiting government buildings or attending church
long pants should be worn.
